Résumé
Afin de placer les contributions à ce numéro dans un contexte théorique plus large, nous montrons comment les problèmes écologiques peuvent être approchés à partir des perspectives qu’offre la sociologie de l’environnement. Les problèmes écologiques sont des constructions sociales résultant d’un processus complexe de définition, d’appropriation et de diffusion sociale. Ils donnent lieu à des débats et des controverses publiques, dévoilant des conflits et des alliances entre acteurs sociaux. Ils peuvent conduire à des décisions collectives s’institutionnalisant en politiques et pratiques publiques et privées. Quatre approches des enjeux environnementaux, accentuant des aspects différents des relations sociales à l’environnement, sont passées en revue : l’écologie politique, l’écologie humaine, la modernisation écologique, et l’analyse des controverses socio-écologiques. Les articles rassemblés dans ce numéro s’inscrivent dans l’une ou l’autre de ces approches, à l’exception de l’écologie humaine.

Abstract
This section aims to put the contributions to this issue in a broader theoretical context, namely by showing how environmental issues might be approached from perspectives developed by environmental sociology. Environmental problems are social constructs resulting from a complex process of definition, appropriation and social diffusion. They give rise to debates and public controversies, which in turn reveal the conflicts and alliances between social actors. Moreover, they can lead to collective decisions that become institutionalized in public and private policies and practices. Four approaches to understanding environmental problems, highlighting various aspects of social relationships to the environment, are reviewed: political ecology, human ecology, ecological modernization and the analysis of socio-ecological controversies. Each of the articles featured in this issue prescribes to one or the other of these approaches, with the exception of human ecology.
Keywords:
- environmental problems,
- theoretical approaches,
- public controversy,
- stakes of the actors
